Coloured sealant in Ballachulish
A coloured bead has to perform like any other sealant. Each joint is cleaned, backed to depth and tooled firmly onto both faces. Careful masking keeps the edges crisp. Most enquiries involve smeared sealant on stone or joinery and white or grey sealant that clashes with the finish, across natural stone and brick, shop-fit joinery and counters and cladding panels. Most enquiries from Ballachulish start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a job around Ballachulish, the Scottish weather is part of the planning: outside joints need dry, frost-clear surfaces, so we agree a window with some give in it. Indoor work isn’t held up by rain.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Repairing damaged frames or cladding
- A colour that never alters with age
- A guaranteed perfect match to every finish
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Hotel bathrooms and public areas
- Powder-coated and anodised frames
- Natural stone and brick
- Cladding panels
- Shop-fit joinery and counters
- Office fit-out finishes
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Protect fresh coloured sealant from dust and handling
- Avoid abrasive pads on coloured sealant
- Approve a sample bead on high-profile areas
- Note which sealant colour was used where
Note the sealant type and colour on the building file. Future repairs can then use the same colour, avoiding a patchwork.
Settle the colour early in the project. When colour is left to the last minute, it is often wrong; fixing it early prevents rework.
What affects the price in Ballachulish
Before we quote, we look at:

Do you need coloured sealant in Ballachulish?
Failed sealant still has to be dealt with, whatever its colour: splits, adhesion loss and hardening all happen. We cut out and reseal in the agreed colour.
Look out for the following:
- A run of joints in mismatched shades
- A bead that fights the cladding or frame colour
- Weathered sealant that no longer matches
- Joints that need to match a new RAL frame colour
If you run a unit on an estate such as North Ballachulish Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the north-west of Ballachulish, the trade counter, offices and staff facilities have joints to look after as well as the warehouse.

Coloured sealant around Ballachulish: what changes locally
With the shore within about 1 mile, Ballachulish counts as a coastal location. Shopfronts, frames and external joints on commercial buildings there take wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Where a frontage needs a particular colour, the product still has to suit that exposure. A 2-mile radius around Ballachulish takes in several hotels. In hotels, sealant shows everywhere, from bathroom joints to reception counters, so colour and a clean finish matter.
A hotel such as Isles of Glencoe Hotel & Leisure Centre, less than half a mile north-east of Ballachulish, shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

Do you use coloured sanitary silicone?

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
